Like I said, I should have the radiator for you by the end of January. You won't have touched your jeep until then anyway :laugh:

I thought he was swapping in a 1.6 out of a tracker into it, plus triple t-cases.

Rhombi.

Yeah I thought it was Rhombi :laugh:

Seriously. So far so good though. Had to work on my Dodge today, but I'll get back on the cage tomorrow.

Haven't revealed it yet. I will once the engine gets built. Hopefully going to start on that soon with my uncle.

Okay cat's out of the bag:

Engine:

'68 440ci big block
Forged .030" 9:1 pistons/rods
Steel-shot forged crank (10/10)
Edelbrock Performer RPM cam
Factory heads, ported, hardened valve seats, edelbrock springs/retainers.

Intake/exhaust, etc. will be figured out later.

Here's some pics of the block/crank/pistons. Tore the block apart to get it to the machine shop tomorrow with my uncle.

I'll be throwing a mockup block with heads/manifolds on it to check clearances and build mounts with.

Early blocks had those three mounting ears, later ones had a different style.

 

[RCman]

Why not an LS?

440 is going to be awesome.

440s are very common. 426 hemi's are not

 

[Begster]

440s are very common. 426 hemi's are not

As is evident by the amount of 440 blocks that are sitting in Colin's garage at the moment. There is also a 426 hemi, but that is sitting in a vehicle...

Obvious guy is obvious.

[cmelo]

So there's sub $100 big block throttle bodies on ebay right now and I think I've found a way to get a programmable ecm and harness for less than $100...
